[Verse 1]
Bm7 A E Bm7 A E
I used to dream I was a poster in a bedroom
Bm7 A E Bm7 A E
Or the pictures that get cut out of the fancy magazines
Bm7 A E Bm7 A E
Some tortured genius meant to leave the planet too soon
Bm7 A E Bm7 A E
Living on champagne in the back of limousines
[Chorus]
Bm7 A E
Trying to feed the fire
Bm7 A E
Without really knowing why
Bm7 A E
Trying to feed the fire
Bm7 A E
While hoping that it dies

[Verse 2]
Bm7 A E Bm7 A E
Trading where I'm at for some future destination
Bm7 A E Bm7 A E
Working for attention I'll eventually resent
Bm7 A E Bm7 A E
Trying to ignore some of the darker implications
Bm7 A E Bm7 A E
Of smiling for the camera with my hands in wet cement
[Chorus]
Bm7 A E
Trying to feed the fire
Bm7 A E
Without really knowing why
Bm7 A E
Trying to feed the fire
Bm7 A E
While hoping that it dies

Without really knowing why

While hoping that it dies
[Verse 3]
Bm7 A E Bm7 A E
There's someone in my reflection that's been haunting me my whole life
Bm7 A E Bm7 A E
There's a world outside my window I can barely even hear
Bm7 A E Bm7 A E
And I wonder to myself as I am straightening my bowtie:
Bm7 A E E
How can I look so perfect on the screen and so awful in the mirror?
[Chorus]
Bm7 A E
Trying to feed the fire
Bm7 A E
Without really knowing why
Bm7 A E
Trying to feed the fire
Bm7 A E
While hoping that it dies
Bm7 A E
Trying to feed the fire
Bm7 A E
Without really knowing why
Bm7 A E
Trying to feed the fire
Bm7 A E
While hoping that it dies
Bm7 A E
Hoping that it dies
Bm7 A E
Hoping that it dies
Bm7 A E
Hoping that it dies
